Numbers are used to represent both integer and floating-point values.

Numbers are most commonly expressed in literal forms like 255 or 3.14159 ↴

let num1 = 5; → number

let num2 = 2.5; → number

let num3 = num1 + num2;

console.log(num3); returns ↴

7.5 → number

Exponentiation

Exponentiation is the mathematical process of multiplying a number by itself, raised to the power of another number.

base ^exponent

base number to multiply.

exponent number of times to multiply the base by itself.

---

Find the power of a number using the Math.pow() method.

---

Math.pow() static method returns the value of a base raised to a power.

Math.pow() is equivalent to the exponent operator ** except Math.pow() only accepts numbers.

---

Initialize a variable to hold the base value.

const num1 = 3; → user input

Initialize a variable to hold the exponent value.

const num2 = 4; → user input

---

Define a function findPower to find the power of a number.

function findPower(str) {}

The function takes two numbers as input num1, num2 representing the base and exponent and returns the result of raising the base to the power of the exponent.

num1 → base

num2 → exponent

return Math.pow(base, exp)

---

Call the function with ↴

findPower(num1, num2);

---

Find 3 to the power of 4 → 3⁴

const num1 = 3;

const num2 = 4;

function findPower(base, exp) {

return Math.pow(base, exp);

}

call function

findPower(num1, num2); returns ↴
